My name is Alexander E. Kent, and I am running for Burlingame City Council to "Restore Balance & Ethics" to Burlingame.

I've spent about 100 hours introducing myself to folks on Burlingame Ave and Broadway Ave, and I have never asked people for contributions in person or on the phone, as most of the candidates have.

I also never ordered yard signs because I'm running to represent The Renters of Burlingame (51% of our town) that have no representation on City Council today - and most of us do not have a yard.

So, instead, I personally distributed 5,000 door hangers to the apartments while chatting with dozens of folks on the way.

I am the only candidate with a graduate-level degree in finance (Kellogg MBA in Finance & Marketing), which is very important to city council's oversight of employee pension investments and to deliver budget surpluses to pay down our massive debts ($73M in unfunded pension health care, etc).

I have the strongest experience in complex contract negotiation and commercial real estate planning (none of the existing city council has any professional experience in this, even though it's the most impactful issue faced), and I work everyday with public and private schools and faith-based groups on real estate strategy and negotiations.

Let's Eliminate The Conflicts of Interest, Encourage Healthy Budget Surpluses, To Pay Down Our Massive Debts, & Ensure Strong Schools!

I'm also running to represent the 50% of Burlingame that rents their home, but who have zero representation on City Council today.

Also, as a correction to the story above, Ann Keighran was never elected to the 'mayor' position by Burlingame Residents, but rather this role is simply passed around each year among City Council members. http://burlingame-hillsborough.patch.com/groups/politics-and-elections/p/officers-rotate-in-burlingame

Ann is, in fact, completing her 2nd, 4 year term as a City Council Member this fall.
